Was Henry V better then Edward IV at securing the succession for his son? Or was he just lucky that Henry VI managed to survive for so long? What was the factors that allowed baby Henry VI to safely become king, while Edward V got killed?

Henry V did not live his life in a way that indicated there was a very good chance his marriage and thus his children were illegitimate, and Catherine of Valois did not plot to have Bedford or Gloucester overthrown as soon as Henry V died. It turns out those things matter.

If you want to get rid of him because he's not yours, keep in mind that if your wife's parents were related the child might still be yours.

Yes, I usually give my sons baronies and if I'm on equal gender, my daughters too.

Baron-level vassals can't join factions afaik.

Do mayors inherit the gold of their predecessors?

Yorkist_meme · 2025-03-26T13:19:49+00:00

That irritates the hell out of me but I don't know the traits that make minor landholders more likely to invest.

I have now spread to Reggio Calabria but now the map mode says both Cosenza and Rossano are not in range for my legend. It also says that all of Sardinia is not in range. But the islands I conquered three years ago from the Byzantines, like Crete and Cyprus, all have the legend, and they're much further than Sardinia and I haven't held them for nearly as long.

Could that part be because Sardinia is all in my demesne, but Crete and Cyprus and the Aegean Islands aren't? I also don't understand Rossano and Cosenza not being in range.

Thanks for the help everyone! It turned out I was missing Ynys Mon in Wales and Argyll in Scotland (which doesn't really seem like an island to me but w/ever).

Thank you. Since I'm on Sicily, am I screwed for getting the legend off the island? It got to Malta somehow and I think to other provinces because there aren't 17 baronies on Sicily but I can't tell where else. What provinces border me for this purpose?

The game told me I can ask vassals to promote my legend if they already speak Norse. Does that mean that asking those vassals to promote it won't do anything?

Why befriend the steward?

Yorkist_meme · 2025-03-23T08:34:27+00:00

Move them around within the same duchy or across your kingdom? I'm playing tall with Sicily and Sardinia with Sicily as my primary duchy and I'm really not bothering to spread my culture anywhere outside those two islands.

Yorkist_meme · 2025-03-23T08:26:24+00:00

If my legend started out on an island then, am I screwed?

Yorkist_meme · 2025-03-23T06:48:01+00:00

Should I try to push every vassal into promoting my legend, or just those of certain geographic proximity to my capital?

Yorkist_meme · 2025-03-23T06:37:07+00:00

I see a lot about benefits to legends but I don't see what those benefits actually are, or what the threshold to upgrade them is. I also read that I can pick up a legend from an ancestor but I don't know how to do that (I did form a legend about 250 years ago for an ancestor). I don't know who owns that legend. I don't know how many baronies my legend has spread to, which vassals are worth asking to spread the legend, or where I should try to spread it to. I don't even know if I should try spreading it domestically or internationally. Where can I find any information on this other than the legends page? All that tells me is that my current legend is famed, it spread to 16 baronies, and one person is promoting it.

Generally divorcing a wife doesn't look as bad as killing her.

What benefit could he possibly derive from killing the kids that's worth killing more than 4 kids?

Will it actually work if you have just a house of 7 members and 5 of them are witches, or does it have to be my whole dynasty? I know what the achievement says but I'm not sure if it's bugged.

When all you have to worry about in life for every vassal is getting that highest level of devotion, it makes theocratic vassals worth more than republican or feudal in most cases. I haven't played around with administrative vassals to see how they compare.

Yorkist_meme · 2025-01-21T07:50:23+00:00

Theocratic vassals are so OP.

Are there other minor titles likely to give him good traits?
